Here is something I used in the past... <cfset application.basepath = "http://#cgi.http_host##Left(cgi.script_name, Find('/',cgi.script_name,2))#">

Right now I just hard code the url but it's a pain when I put the application from machine to another to run locally and have to change the url. I have tried using GETDIRECTORYFROMPATH(CGI.CF_TEMPLATE_PATH) but it returns the physical path i.e c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mydirecotryname what I need to do is have it point to http://localhost/mydirectoryname instead so that if someone copies the netire directory over their machine they don't have to make any changes at all to that cflocation tag.
